Answer 1

you should basically be training like a power lifter to achieve your goals. there could be a number of things that could be wrong which is causing your bench to plateau.

Answer 2

I lift weights and run. Switch off each day. Weight training will raise your metabolism and you will burn more calories while in a state of rest. When I run I run for at least 3 miles. For weight training I have a weight machine, do upper and lower body, sit ups, and also use dumb bells. More women should be doing weight training. It feels great to be toned - you don't have to develop huge muscles. But I definitely would recommend a combination between weights and cardio. The older you get the more you need to do to keep your metabolism going. I never had a problem before until I hit 35. The combination of both has helped me keep my weight at where I want it without dieting.
